Description

A refreshing and colorful pasta salad that’s perfect for gatherings!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz pasta (cooked and cooled)
  • 2 cups mixed fruits (e.g., strawberries, grapes, blueberries, kiwi)
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup whipped cream or cool whip
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Mint leaves optional for garnish

Instructions

  1. Begin by cooking your pasta according to the package instructions. Once al dente, drain and rinse with cold water to cool it down.

  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the whipped cream, honey (or agave syrup), and vanilla extract until well-blended and creamy.
  5. Gently fold the dressing into the pasta and fruit mixture, ensuring every bit is coated.
  6. For an even more refreshing experience, let your salad chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before serving.
